Playful On Purpose ABA Therapy Services helps kids learn and grow.

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy is a proven and effective approach to supporting children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) on their journey towards reaching their full potential. 

Our comprehensive and individualized approach ensures that each child's unique needs are met, and that their families are actively involved in the therapeutic process. By focusing on both individualized care plans and family-centered care, we aim to create a supportive and nurturing environment for every child and family we work with.

No two children with autism are alike. Each child has their own set of strengths, challenges, and developmental milestones. Recognizing this, our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) conduct thorough and comprehensive assessments to gain a deep understanding of each child's unique profile. These assessments are the foundation upon which we design a tailored ABA program specifically for your child.

1. Comprehensive Assessments: Our BCBAs begin by conducting detailed assessments that cover various aspects of the child's development. These include communication abilities, social interactions, behavior patterns, academic skills, and daily living skills. The assessment process involves direct observation, standardized testing, and input from parents and caregivers to ensure a holistic understanding of the child's needs.
2. Personalized Treatment Plans: Based on the assessment results, our BCBAs develop a customized treatment plan that outlines specific goals and objectives tailored to the child's strengths and areas of improvement. These plans are dynamic and continuously updated to reflect the child's progress and evolving needs. The individualized approach ensures that therapy is relevant, effective, and aligned with the child's developmental trajectory.
3. Targeted Interventions: The treatment plan includes targeted interventions that focus on key areas such as communication, social skills, play skills, and behavior management. By breaking down complex skills into smaller, manageable steps, our therapists help children achieve significant milestones and gain confidence in their abilities.
4. Data-Driven Approach: We use a data-driven approach to monitor progress and make informed decisions about the treatment plan. Regular data collection and analysis allow our BCBAs to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions and make necessary adjustments to ensure optimal outcomes for the child.

Family involvement is pivotal to your child's success. We believe that the best outcomes are achieved when parents and caregivers are actively engaged in the therapeutic process. Our family-centered care approach ensures that strategies and techniques taught during therapy can be seamlessly integrated into the child's daily life, ensuring continuity and stability.

1. Parent Training and Support: We provide comprehensive training and support to parents and caregivers, empowering them with the knowledge and skills needed to support their child's development. This includes teaching parents how to implement ABA techniques, manage challenging behaviors, and reinforce positive behaviors at home.
2. Collaborative Goal Setting: We involve families in the goal-setting process to ensure that the treatment plan aligns with the family's priorities and expectations. Regular meetings and open communication channels allow us to collaborate closely with parents, addressing any concerns and celebrating successes together.
3. Consistent Reinforcement: By integrating therapeutic strategies into daily routines, parents can provide consistent reinforcement of learned skills, promoting generalization and maintenance of these skills across different settings. This consistency is crucial for the child's progress and long-term success.

Emotional and Practical Support: We understand that raising a child with autism can be challenging, both emotionally and practically. Our team offers ongoing emotional support, resources, and practical advice to help families navigate the complexities of their child's autism journey. We are here to listen, support, and guide families every step of the way.
